The Hobbit is possibly one of the finest pieces of fantasy fiction ever written. This is a must-read for anybody even remotely interested in the genre. Because it is a stand-alone book it is much easier to get into than the Lord of the Rings trillogy.
Just reviewing it makes me want to read it again!

"The Hobbit" is a wonderful book that fans of fantasy should absolutely read. The prelude to what is considered J.R.R. Tolkein's masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Hobbit" tells a somewhat simpler tale but is in no way worse than the books which come after it. This story contains many of the established scenes and ideas from which authors draw today, and the clever languages, songs, poems, and riddles sprinkled throughout the text are delightful. Action and suspense scenes are handled wonderfully, too. This is really a book that has a bit of everything thrown in! Recommended greatly.

This is an annual re-read and never disappoints! For the first time however, I did notice that the reading level is somewhat "younger" than his wonderful trilogy. I can hardly wait for the movie(s) and wish that Gandalf could coerce the movie powers that be as easily as he does the dwarves and Bilbo Baggins in this book LOL!

THe JRRTolkien craze has a prelude. A worthy read.

This book is written in such a way that i was able to picture each scene as they happened. It made me want to watch the movies after i finished reading it. it is a wonderful book.

Classic, enchanting and, magic.

This is a wonderful classic read.

What can I say about this book, it's a classic!

This was my first fantasy book. I was hesitant to read it...never had an interest in fantasy at all. But my friend put it in my hands and told me to read it. I did, and it was fantastic! Much better than I was expecting. I loved the characters and the variety througout the book. It never failed to hold my attention. I would recommend this book to anyone!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was fairly easy to follow and very entertaining. The description in the book left little to the imagination and I felt I could see everything and everyone. It would be fun to go on an adventure such as this, and I do when reading it.

A very easy read, less complicated and dark than the trilogy, the Hobbits quickly become a favorite!

One of the very few books I could bare to read three times and is great for anyone above the age of 10!

.

Book has some cover wear, otherwise solid.

Just a note,my copy has a different cover.It is black with gold foil used in the author's name.It is labeled as "50th anniversary edition!".Published by Ballantine books and the ISBN 13 is located inside the front cover.Thank you.

You can't help falling in love with Frodo and the other characters. This is my favorite of the Tolkien novels.

This is the prelude to the Lord of the Rings series. I actually enjoyed this story much more than the Lord of the Rings series itself.
